Good Art Has No Excuses

A saying which states that one artist (a writer, painter, author, musician, etc.) should be allowed to only make art for himself and not for random people he doesn't know, but should keep in mind that it should not excuse him from making poor quality art.
As a writer, I only write for myself and not random strangers who read my novels, but that doesn't excuse me from writing good quality books. Every artist should know that good art has no excuses. Ever.

Comfort excuse

Largely used in romance, excuses people give rejecting someone by overcomplicating their baggage into something valid on a positive spin. This is usually overcompensating for their romantic insecurities
She gave him a comfort excuse turning him down by telling him she's older and divorced and that he's younger and has his life ahead of him because she fears that her baggage will get in the way of enjoying the romance.

Usually in this case mora than not, the person is really rejecting themselves before they get rejected in the long term

Excuse Spaghetti

feeble attempts to explain away SignalGate scandal
Mike Waltz appeared on Laura Ingraham's White Power Hour on Fixed Noise to toss Excuse Spaghetti on the wall to see what stuck. Waltz, dancing as fast as he could, suggested that Atlantic publisher Jeff Goldberg "infiltrated" the Signal chat rather than being added to it—even though receipts show the latter to be the stone-cold truth.
